Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Mission District building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Put simply, two visits a year keeps a Mission District roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings following the first heavy storm. We see it on Mission District roofs every week. A Mission District roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. It is the same story on most Mission District streets.
